This is interesting. Remember the fabled Rudy-McCain dinner a while back? Now Rudy and Mitt have been caught in the act. From Tuesday's Track:
What, may we ask, was on the table for discussion the other night when Gov. Mitt Romney and former Big Apple Mayor Rudy Giuliani were holed up in a private room at Davio’s???
Our eatery spies report that the pair of GOP party guys dined with Giuliani’s aides and Mitt’s bride, Ann, and that the attentive servers were kept at bay for some time between courses.
Hmmm.
Now, you know the polls have the former Apple mayor second only to war hero Sen. John McCain to replace Dubya. Romney ranks fifth behind Newt Gingrich and Bill Frist, leading to speculation that Mitt may be a primo candidate for the No. 2 slot.
So, ya think the words “vice president” were brought up between the appetizers and dessert?
“Yes,” said Romney spokesman Eric Fehrnstrom. “They’re both big fans of Dick Cheney.”
Fehrnstrom, by the way, claims the political bread-breaking was “a social dinner.”
“The Governor and Rudy Giuliani are good friends who get together from time to time, and this was yet another occasion for them to catch up with each other,” he said.
It would be nice if Romney bowed to reality, wouldn't it?

Wow! Great stuff! Is this for real?
I'd respectfully disagree about the way the "bowing" would happen.
You keep putting so much faith in these "cold call" polls. Joe Lieberman was smoking hot in these too a couple of years before his run . . . and we all know what happened to him, eh?
Since when does the New York man travel to Boston to be bowed to?
Heh.
You're right on the "cold call" polls, but Joe Lieberman = John McCain. McCain's support in the cold call polls is coming from people who don't vote in primaries. I'd be willing to venture that many of McCain's 2000 supporters -- people who for whatever reason didn't want George W. Bush -- are now supporting other candidates, Rudy primarily.
I think Giuliani and Romney, in whatever order on the ticket, would be unbeatable in 2008. We're talking 40-state victory here. More 1988 than 2004. And yes, both are far more trusted by the GOP base than McCain.
